Counting to 10 - Remember the old saying that if you get angry you should count to 10? Well, there is something to the idea. Using language helps keep us in the frontal cortex of our brain where we can rationally deal with our anger, rather than the limbic system where we have little control over our emotions. By counting, we function from the frontal cortex and also keep our mind off of worse case scenarios which worsen the problem.
